WATER-CLSETOUTLET CONNECTION.

To all whom it may concern: A Be it known that I, CHARLES H. MOORE, a.citizen of the United States, residing in New York city, in the countyof New York and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in W ater-Closet-Outlet Connections, of which the followingis a specillcation.

. The object of this invention is to produce an earthenware waterclosetl with a metal flange or fitting secured rigidly and penna--struct the metal flange so thatthere will be no 'difficulty in bringingthe front of the l closet to the right position in screwing it in placeand securing it to the base of the closet so that any pressure from theweight of the soil pipe will weigh on the said metal flange and not onthe earthenware. To accomplish this, I construct the projecting rim ofthe flange niiter shape on the inner wall and of such thick proportionsthat any hard setting cement will not expand it, and I form thedepression or channel in theware into which the rim ol' theI flangefits, miter shape at the inner wall with the largest proportioned spacefor the cement between the inner Wall of the metal projection and theinner wall of the channel. l make the depressions in one completecircumferential channel, or several depressions can be made in the wareand a corresponding number of projections can'be made on the flange toenter the said depressions and be secured therein, and always shaped sothat the ting cement will not affect the outer rim of the base, and Iextend a eircuinferentialprofy jection from the flange up'into thedischarge limb of the closet. l

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification,Figure 1v represents a central vertical section of the invention. Figi 2represents the under side of the metal flange that issecured to the baseof the closet.

11 represents a projection "on'thel'flange extending up into the channelor depression 3, or several of these projections can be made to enterand be secured within corresponding depressions made in the earthenbase. The one or the several of these projections and the inner wall ofthedepression or de'- pressions 3 are made to 'incline toward thedischarge limb 1 so that in conjunction with a hard setting cement aninseparable mitered joint is made that willnot affect the outer wall ofthe depression 3 and will hold the metal flange rigidly in place.

12 shows the inner rim of the flange 9 projecting up into the dischargelimb 1. A

14 represents feet on the bottom. ofthe flange that are intended for theflange to get a firm bearing on the floor, and are made deep enough toallow the closetto be turned completely around and have a bearing on thefloor at every angle, so thatin the event of the closet in being screwedin Yplace coming to a firm bearing on the f eet W en the front of it isa few 'degrees past the center line, the feet can be filed ofl` enoughto let the closet turn around until the front gets to the right ositionand still'lave a solid bearing on the eet.

represents grooves made in the sleeve 10,-1/4 of an inchapartVsothat incase a l0 threaded nipple may be too long to allow the closety to screwdown to 'a bearing, the grooves will be a guide to cut the sleeve ofiby.

18 shows a threaded nipple or coupling 15 that the closetis screwed to,and in some cases has a smooth top surface that will come I in contactwith a sult'able washer 20 in the space 19v andl form a tight joint.This plan isused when 'it is preferable to have the 20 threadedconnections screw completely up to a shoulder. 'The drawing shows afemale sleeve 'on the flange, but the flange is also made with athreaded male sleeve.

To set themetal flange 9 in the base 2, turn the closet bottom side upand put enough of the prepared cement in the deression- 3, partlcu arlyagainst the inclined lnner wall 4, to fill the space between therojection 11 and the inchned inner wall 4. 'hen set theflange 9 in thedepression l3, and "the, cement will conform to .the shape of the spacebetween the inclined wall 4 and the inclined wall of the projection 11and fill it, and any of the cement that is forced the the narrow spacebetween the outer rim of the fiange 9 and the outer Wall of thedepression 3 is to be removed by the employmentof a thin tool. Thecement in the space 4 represented by numeral 16 becomes 40 hard andforms a wedge that holds lthe flange.

9 rigidly iin the depression 3 without having any expansive effectfonthe outer rim of the base 2. In setting the metal iiange 9, care istaken that the feet 14 project below the bottom of the outer rim of thebase 2, so that in setting the closet in place these feet rest upon thefloor and keep the weight of th soil ipe off from the earthen base.

T e advantages are 1st. The im ossibility of any gases escaping betweenfiile brass flange and earthen closet.

2nd. Perfect security against the metal flange getting loose from theearthen base.

3rd. Perfect security against the closet getting broke from the weightof the soil pipe. 4th. In the event of the base of a c oset having anunnoticeable dunt, the hard setting cement surrounding the dependinginner 60 wall of the depression 3 and er'il of the discharge limb, willreinforce it an prevent the 4 dunt spreading.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 35 1. Thecombination with an earthenware I or c annel, and the other water closethaving an earthen base ex-f' tending out from` the discharge limb, -saidbase provided with a depression or clanncl 3, of a metal flange providedwith a projection extending into said depression and fixed thereintowith a layer of hard setting cement between the inner face-of theprojection and the earthenware,y thereby leavlng a space between thevouter face of the projection and the corresponding o positeface of thedepression,

said flange also avin a depending sleeve to engage with the soil pipe.

2. The combination with an earthenware i water' closet bowl having anearthen base extending ou't from the discharge limb, said base providedwith a depression or channel .3, of a metal flange provided with aprojection extending intolsaid depression and fixed thereinto with alayer of hard setting cement between the. inner face of the projectionand the earthenware, thereby leaving a space between the outer face ofthe projection and the corresponding opposite face' of the depressionthat may be led with a non-expan- 'sive cement, said flange also havinga threaded depending sleeve to engage with a threaded fitting connectedto the said pipe.

3. The "combination with an earthenware water closet lhaving a baseextending out from the discharge limb, said base pro'aided with adepression or channel 3, of a metal flange lprovided with twoprojections, one of the projections extending into the said devpressionor channel 3 and secured thereinto y a layer of hard setting cement, andthe other projection extending u into the discharge limb of the closetan forming a receptacle into which that portion of the base that formsthe inner wall of the depression 3 extends, and in conjunction with thetwo above named projections forms a trap into which water will be forced.in discharging from the closet (if the space is left unfilled) and forma water seal that will prevent any escape of gases from the drain,independent of or in addition to the cement joint that is made in the deression or channe 3.

4. The com ination with anearthenware water closet havinA a baseextending out from. the discharge limb, said base provided with adepression or channel, of a metal flange provided with two projections,one of the rejections extending into said depression rojection extendingup into the discharge imb of the closet and forming a receptacle intowhich that ortion of the base that forms the inner wa l of thedepression extends, and in conjunction with the two above namedrojections forms a trap into which water will)be forced in dischargingfrom athe closet (if the space is left unfilled) and forms a water sealthat will prevent any escape of gases from the drain, a

5. The combination with an earthenware Water closet havin a baseextending out from the discharge limb, said baseprovided with adepression or channel 3, of a metal ange provided with two projections,one of the projections extendin in-to the said depression'or channel,and Jie other projection extending up into a recessed place in the baseof the closet and formin a receptacle into which that portion of the asethat forms the inner Wall of the depression extends, andv forms a trap,said receptacle communicating that discharging water from the closetWill be forced into any part of it that is left unfilled and forni aWater seal that will prevent escage of gases from the sewer, a meansprov1 Witnesses F.
